The Englishman and His History

Herbert Butterfield

3.3/5 ( ratings)

This book, by the Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, attempts to show the workings of the Englishman's alliance with Time and History, and also to trace the development of certain features in Whiggism and in the English political tradition. The author tries to put his finger on the hidden assets and the unpremeditated profit which this country has accumulated as a result of the continuity of her history.

What is the practical value—the use to-day—of Tradition? If that is not a Current Problem, in these times of revolution, it is hard to say what is. This book is the historian's answer.
